Body Almost Finished

[atherleisure]

I've nearly finished the body of my late 16th/early 17th century petticoat. I have to let the shoulders out a little, but that's pretty insignificant. At any rate, now I can cut the skirt panels. I made the bust a touch small, assuming that some stretching would occur with wear, so it doesn't quite lace closed right now.







My thanks to reine_de_coudre for her suggestions and advice.

The fit is great! What will letting out the shoulders change?

It will make the armscyes just a little bigger and the whole bodice ride a trifle lower. It's not much, but I think it will improve the comfort. I believe in a tight armscye, but not too tight!

Ah! Thanks - I'm always trying to improve my eye for fit improvements. :)

Is there much better in this world than green wool?
